Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 6424129, member: 397965"] I agree. Its kind of a nit-picky thing and did not matter for the outcome of the hand, but with an SPR of less than 2 we can use very small bet sizes and still get stacks in. An on a dry board there is nothing wrong with making it a 3 street hand. Also its important to understand, that when we put in more than 1/3 of the effective stack on the flop (leaving less than a pot sized bet behind), then both players are committed to the pot, if Villain gives action. This gives the opponent a chance to fold hands, he dont want to stack off with, and it also means, that he can never call the flop and then fold later, unless he has a busted draw. A lot of players will react to that situation by just check-jamming the flop themselfes, which mean, that his check-raise is not nearly as strong, as it would be with deeper stacks. Because of the sizing, Hero used, he can absolutely be check-jamming a hand like Q9 with the logic, that since he is not going to fold, and there is so little stack behind, then he might as well just get it in now. And on a wet board he will also be check-jamming draws, because draws dont want to call flop and then face a turn jam, they cant call. So this is not a situation, where his aggressive action indicate a really strong hand and allow us to make a nit fold. And by the way this is also, why a smaller sizing is better. Because if we are C-betting with air, we would rather get called than jammed on, so that we get a chance to realise our equity. We cant really bluff with this C-bet sizing, unless our hand is so bad, that we dont mind folding it, if we get jammed on. [/QUOTE]
